US Secret Service agents have engaged an armed man at a Florida golf course
The FBI is treating a shooting incident at Trump International Golf Club in Florida as a suspected assassination attempt against former US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Federal agents are investigating “what appears to be an attempted assassination of former President Trump,” the FBI confirmed on Sunday.
The incident occurred shortly before 2pm local time, when a Secret Service agent spotted a rifle barrel sticking through the fence of the resort.
The agent “engaged” with the threat, firing four to six rounds, according to West Palm Beach Sheriff Ric Bradshaw. The suspect fled the scene, but was later arrested in a neighboring county.
